Final Fantasy VI Trailer Confirms Steam Release on December 16

Square Enix streamed a trailer to confirm that it will release its Final Fantasy VI game on PC via Steam on December 16. The trailer previews some scenes from the game, and shows the game's graphics.

Earlier in the week, the Steam Database website listed Final Fantasy VI as an upcoming Square Enix release on the platform, along with Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster

Square Enix describes the game:

The War of Magi left little but ashes and misery in its wake. Even magic itself had vanished from the world. Now, a thousand years later, humankind has remade the world through the power of iron, gunpowder, Steam engines, and other machines and technologies.

But there is one who possesses the lost power of magic--a young girl name Terra whom the evil Empire has kept enslaved in an effort to harness her power as weapon. This leads to a fateful meeting between Terra and a young man named Locke. Their harrowing escape from the Empire's clutches sets in motion a series of events that touches countless lives and leads to one inevitable conclusion.

Square released the game in 1994 for the SNES (Super Famicom), and on the PlayStation in 1999. The game was originally released with the title Final Fantasy III in North America, but later releases restored the original name. Square Enix released a version for Android and iOS devices with remastered graphics in January and February 2014, respectively.
